Premier League - Premier trio in Fortune bids

Eurosport - Tue, 23 Jun 13:01:00 2009

Nancy have accepted bids from three Premier League clubs for striker Marc-Antoine Fortune, but Celtic are likely to be priced out.

2009 West Bromwich Albion Marc-Antoine Fortune - 0

The Frenchman was a hit on loan at West Bromwich Albion last season, and Hull City, Portsmouth, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Fulham are among the clubs thought to be interested.

Nancy sporting director Nicolas Holveck said the player could go for as much as £4 million.

"We have accepted three separate offers, all from English clubs."

He added: "All are in excess of 4 million euros (£3.4m) and, with add-ons, one is approaching the 5 million euro (£4.3m) mark.

"We are happy to allow the player to begin negotiations with these clubs and we expect the transfer to be formalised by Monday.

"It's still possible he could move to Celtic but they have yet to make an acceptable offer."

  6. Pt36...keeps the hoops in the news...enjoy the silence­ from IPOX....also I have never heard of any player who­ has "just been wanted" by one team

  7. Every year Celtic are interested in players who are­ also wanted by other clubs. Do the fans not see the­ same pattern every year, they only interested as they­ know they will never sign them. They are doing this to­ sweeten the fans, and every year you lot fall for­ it.
    Oh and Naka's home sick that why he is moving­ to SPAIN????

  8. If the games are not going to be shown on TV, or at­ least, if it's looking shaky that they might not be­ shown, then no-one is going to want to come to Scotland­ and play for ANY teams. I heard that it was 12 million­ that Mowbray would have, and that apparently came out­ before Mowbray was in place...
    In this day and age, is­ it good management to fork out 3, now 4, possibly 5­ million for this guy? He's simply not worth it and­ hasn't proven anything. As much as I hate to­ plunder other teams in Scotland, Fletcher is a better­ Striker than this guy... But Irish, Welsh and Scottish­ players might be all that are willing to play in­ Scotland with no TV.

  12. Where is the £20m coming from. That would put them £20m­ in debt. Celtic will not allow that would they. Get­ real, he will have mybe 5m plus money if they sell­ players at very very most. Take off they green tinted­ specs and look at the way that board is sponging fans­ and not spending there hard earned money on players

    From Paul G CHAMPIONS, on Wed 24 Jun 8:03AM
  13. you know you huns are a bunch o fannys look at the­ facts this comming fae a hibee with green tinted­ glasses fortune aint worth £3m but down in the english­ prem they are fannys they will pay well above the odds­ so the ceptic are quit right ye we will give you £3m­ but ant more piss off nothing to do with the board­ being mean mowby has £20m to spend he will get a­ brilliant striker in fletch if yogi cant talk him into­ another half season but as im sure all things green­ celtic and hibs are going to have a great season and­ you huns will still be skint and lame
